Paraguard or Kanaplex after mysterious illness

[HGibson]

Hi, I have 2 male phantom tetras and 5 females in a planted 10 gallon. Usually they get along great besides a little fin nipping, but I have recently discovered that one of the females is practically wasted away and lost much of her fins. I've quarantined her for Paraguard dips. My question now is what...

Betta w Popeye: Used Kanaplex two complete treatments. I want to follow up with Paraguard bc not fully cured yet. Or should I do another (3rd) Kanaplex treatment? It's been 4 days with 50% water change since last course of treatment. Please advise. Thank you!...

Hi,

I have a betta in a 5 gallon cycled tank, water changes every 48 hours and am currently treating with Kanaplex. He is now on his third dose and I am not seeing any improvement in his fins but I am seeing a general improvement in his movement and demeanor. It was pretty severe fin rot...

I use a 50-micron water polishing filter pad in my aquarium filter. I worry that it is filtering out medication that I am trying to treat my sick fish with. Most people can see particles down to 40-50 microns in size. A speck of pollen might be a good example of a 50-micron particle. Kanaplex, Metroplex,...

I am overwintering juvenile koi in a basement stock tank; my pond is too shallow to shelter them through hard winters. They have been doing very well until last night, when a male presented with popeye.

His right eye is protruding. The left eye seems unaffected. He is a little sluggish,...

Hi,

I'm on my second round of treatment with Kanaplex for my Betta with what looks like is still the beginning/mid stages of dropsy. I understand what I'm involved in, but I am trying to remain hopeful.

I was giving Epsom salt dips 1x per day, they seemed to help and relax...

I will be buying some but would like to know if I need 1 or 2 times 5g ? I have some fish with buoyancy issues and wanted to treat as a precaution. Should I mix something else with Kanaplex?

Thanks...

Hi,
I currently have two fish in quarantine, 1 clown and 1 assessor basslet. The clown is acting and eating normally, seems to be doing fine. The basslet on the other hand is not eating and his fins are very ragged. Since starting the kanaplex treatment he's shown minor signs of improvement....

Hi I have a peacock gudgeon, she cannot maintain her position in the water and is sat on the bottom of the tank. She is from my dads tank, I'm not sure what the cause is, it could have been egg bound but I also have one peacock gudgeon fry with the same trouble it's only 1cm long. I am treating the...

How long should I wait after medicating a tank with Kanaplex (most recent treatment) and losing fish?

I had a number of problems on and off with this tank over the fall. Bloodfin Tetras. 10 Gallon. (2 small albino corys have survived it all and are fine). The last fish died in December,...

I seem to be finding conflicting info on how to treat a Betta with Dropsy. I hope I'm not too late to treat properly. Hope someone can help.

First, she's in a 2.5 gal tank with a heater and sponge filter. Water is hard, pH about 7.6, 0 NH3, 0 Nitrites, and when the Nitrates gets 20-40 I...

i have a bacterial infection which is causing open sores. I'm thinking of using KanaPlex. In the product detail page on Seachem's website one paragraph says to remove carbon. Lower, in another paragraph it's more general and says to remove chemical filtration. Is carbon the only chemical filtration...

Just want to know if this is safe to do. My gouramis have a parasitic dactylogyrus infection with probable secondary bacterial or fungal lesion. Now I want to treat both but I want to be sure it is safe to use both Paraguard and Kanaplex together.



Thanks.

Hi,

I recently used Kanaplex to treat my entire display tank since it had a severe outbreak of very contagious and deadly bacteria, possibly F. Columnare.

Anyway, thr treatment seems to have worked since the deaths seem to have stopped.

I'm wondering though,...

I am treating my tank for columnaris. One fish is showing definite signs, the other isn't, but I treating the whole tank as a precaution. I am using Kanaplex and Furan2. I was following instructions for furan2 and than it hit me, I hope I'm not overdosing on the Kanaplex. Every 24 hours I do a dose,...
